Meaning & Story
Harriett is a feminine English name, a variant of Harriet, itself the anglicized form of the French Henriette, derived from the Germanic Heimrich meaning ruler of the home. It carries the legacy of Harriet Tubman.
Harriett carries historical weight in the most beautiful way. The spelling variation gives it a personal quality, but the name itself is inextricably linked to one of history's great freedom fighters — Harriet Tubman, who freed herself and then went back repeatedly to free others. For a brave, determined female pet with a powerful sense of purpose, naming her Harriett is a genuine tribute to an extraordinary human being and everything that name now represents.
